Description of Route
From Exchange Zone 4 you will exit the New Balnce parking lot and continue on Rt. 110. Follow Rt. 110 and then bear right after the Dunkin’ Donuts onto Riverside Drive; run with the flow of traffic. Riverside Drive becomes Water Street when you enter Lawrence. You will be running parallel to the Merrimack River. Continue straight on Water Street.
Continue straight (east) on Water street, which becomes Canal street. The road bends slight right at Lawrence St, continue east to Union St. At Union St, volunteers and police will help runners turn right and crossover left side of Union St. Runners must use the sidewalk on Union St and the Duck Bridge over the river. Failure to use the sidewalk will result in team disqualification. At the corner of Union and Merrimack streets, runners turn left and use the bike lane on the left side of Merrimack St. At the second road on the left, runners turn left (immediately after the 290 Riverwalk Crossing sign). The finish line is 150 ft ahead.
